I was her patient for 5 months and then fired her. The entire 5 months she never sent me a bill. Then the week after I fired her, I received a bill. The bill had all the details of my 5 months with her. However, missing from the statement was a total of 8 payments that I made to her, totaling $455 that she never posted to my account. I have left 3 voice mails and she refused to return my calls to discuss it. I had to file a notice of claim on her in small claims court. She is careless and sloppy. Her office is dirty. Her couch is so filthy, I refused to sit on it. Her website is sloppy and even has misspellings on it. Her website says that she is a "Metal" Health Resource. Diana does not pay attention to details. She is also a liar. I wish I had never made that first appointment with her. ...read more

To be an effective nonprofit executive, there are certain things you can do beyond defining and pursuing a mission or tracking results. Here are three areas of impact that can position your organization to thrive. One pivotal lever for impact is the ability to communicate a message powerfully to the desired service group and to the supporters of the nonprofit.To achieve the first aim, a nonprofit leader has to make the social issue as relevant, understandable, and emotionally gripping as possible to his or her constituents. The leader also needs to build a memorable and compelling identity for the nonprofit. By doing these things, the nonprofit will stand out among the many social service groups that compete for scarce resources in a community. The nonprofit will, in turn, engage its service population to the fullest and become a magnet for talented staff, passionate volunteers, and crucial grants and donations. For these reasons, communication power is at least as important as metrics and efficiency, and perhaps even more crucial. A second lever is the ability to design and run an operating model that generates lasting results rather than short-term results among the service group.The nonprofit leader should study the dynamics of the social issue all the way back to root causes, figure out where along this trajectory the nonprofit should begin its intervention, and then time the intervention to short-circuit potential problems for the service group early in the causal chain. The leader should use his or her position to focus the nonprofit on prioritizing early-intervention activities and then seek deep impact, even if deep impact means serving fewer clients than before. Over many years, the volume of impact matters, but in the early years of an initiative, the leader should focus on testing and refining the interventions to see which approaches really take hold in clients’ lives. Don’t expand the scale or scope of the nonprofit until the service delivery model has really proven itself in practice. A third lever is strategic recruitment and training.Earn a reputation for being a judicious selector of potential board and staff members. These people need to realize from the outset that they will be expected to commit wholeheartedly to the cause, or else they should not bother joining. It may take a while to assemble an outstanding cast, but the results will reward the leader’s care and perseverance. It is usually better to have five outstanding team members than ten good ones, since the outstanding ones can build the strongest foundation for the long term. If they introduce high-quality solutions and demonstrate a great work ethic, they will elevate the aspirations and commitment of all subsequent recruits. Nonprofit leadership is complex, so many other factors bear consideration, too, but the above priorities will deliver the greatest impact from day one.

Bulimia: Eating compulsively large amounts of food and then purging the food the use of exercise, laxatives, drugs and induced vomiting.
